Back into our daily routine . Coffee, bowl of water and illicit half croissant at the cafe under the arcades . A quick stop off at the bakers to buy a cake for lunch . Wilf waits patiently at the shop door . His single nostril working overtime. Angus emerges with an amaretto meringue cake with fresh raspberry filling . Wilf stops waiting patiently and looks energized . His face has taken on that imploring " to be your friend was all I ever wanted " look . Hope springs eternal in an old dogs heart - and stomach .Home. While I write , he sleeps. When I finish writing , he sleeps . A slowing pace of life . Lunchtime. Petites Tourtes Forestieres. Nothing slow about the old fellows sprint into the kitchen .Hard wired into Wilfs DNA the knowledge that ' there is no failure except in no longer trying ' .
I always love your pictures of the bakery goods. I think I've gained about 20 pounds just looking at it! lol
ReplyDeleteHope Wilf is feeling better!
Wilf has the right idea to be well rested for your lunch which looks and sounds delicious! It's so good to read that he is doing well!!
ReplyDeleteI'll take that little strawberry number and a snuggle, please!
ReplyDeleteLove York blog. So, attached. Check on Wilf everyday. Give Wilf lots of hugs for me.
ReplyDeleteLOVE those cakes! I am hoping that Wilf got a small taste of the meringue? Fingers crossed! Glad to hear that the spring in the step is back. All it takes is a cake! Keep on going Wilf, lovely boy!

I'm glad that Wilf's been able to return to his normal routine, including the "illicit" half a croissant at the cafe!
ReplyDeleteHeck, we'll take one of each, please.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to read Wilf is feeling better. Six more weeks is practically Spring.

How do you not buy one of everything at the bakery? It all looks soooooooooo good! I would be extremely fat if I lived there.
